Hacking Need some help with FAT32 HDD over NTFS HDD

George Dawes · Jan 4, 2011

Stick to FAT32 and you have pretty much universal support in all apps.

If you use NTFS you are limited in support. Even NTFS is better than using WBFS partition though.

I dont use many apps but all of the ones I've tried work perfectly with NTFS

As cobleman says above, the most obvious (and useful, to me) program that doesn't work with a NTFS drive is S/UNEEK.

A FAT32 drive can be used on any computer running almost every OS and be safely R/W. It can be plugged into any console (PS2, PS3, Wii, X360) and be both R/W.

A NTFS drive is much more limited and is nowhere near as universal. NTFS has it's place, but in this type of situation a FAT32 partition makes the most sense.

How does VC need FAT32? I use Waninkoko's WAD manager to inject them off the SD card. I don't see how FAT32 is needed.

Metroid Prime trilogy,Call of Duty 3,Far cry vengance,Sam + Max Season 1+2,Shaun White Skateboarding,Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Double Agent ,MySims Racing thats just a few

Oh. Well, I'm one of the few that bought the Trillogy, and the rest of the games don't interest me much.

I do not understand where this connect alt dol and ntfs,fat32

4gb split is automatic with Fat32

What happens in the future if a game that does interest you comes out, and needs S/UNEEK to be playable? It makes no sense at all to limit yourself to NTFS when in this situation FAT32 can do everything it does, plus more.

Should I make a partition then?

EDIT: I don't have a WEP connection for my Wii, I use the Wi-Fi USB Connector, and from what I tried I can't connect using it to download covers. Can I manually add them now that I can access my hard drive?

8BitWalugi · Jan 4, 2011

Damn, I formatted my hard drive to NTFS, put all my games back on, USB Loader GX doesn't work, WiiFlow is giving me a 'Disc_SetUSB Failed' message, and USB Loader Config. doesn't run SD Gundam, which is now causing my younger bro to rage at me. It used to run with GX, but now GX isn't reading my hard drive. Help?

zizer · Jan 4, 2011

i'm use cfg loader with ntfs

if you use ntfs you dont need to split

zizer · Jan 4, 2011

yes i know and use ntfs for games , fat32 for vc,wiiware (use emul nand)

8BitWalugi · Jan 5, 2011

Alright, I updated USB Loader GX, now it detects my hard drive. But with regard to WiiFlow, how do I fix the 'Disc_SetUSB Failed' error?
